Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762: Why Did You Admit Your Mistake So Quickly?

Xiao Ye charged forward: "Are we not brothers? I’ll fight it out with you."

The two brothers got into a scuffle: "For whose sake am I doing this, if not yours? I always get such good scores in training, it’s just that you said this year you didn’t want to go for training anymore. Indeed, younger brothers are a pain."

Xiao Rui stood up: "Since neither of you have any objections, help grandpa move house and continue with the training. Cousins will be there this summer too, so we’ll have company to play ball."

Luo Qiao heard her eldest son’s words: "How do you know your cousins are going too?"

"My cousin said it over the phone the other day. Second Uncle thinks they’re too weak. Last time they got captured so easily, they have to strengthen their training. They’re going the same day as us."

"Your Second Uncle is right, they do need to strengthen."

Xiao Ye said: "Mom, don’t speak without understanding, last time it wasn’t because they were weak; they just didn’t expect those people to use such dirty tricks. If it came to a real fight, there’s no guarantee that our cousins would be at a disadvantage. At worst, they could’ve held on until we arrived."

Luo Qiao glanced at her son: "Losing is losing. Being at a disadvantage due to inexperience isn’t scary. What’s scary is losing and not admitting it. Even if it’s as you say, it’s still due to lack of experience, so extra training is necessary."

Xiao Ye didn’t say anything further, because he realized his mom was indeed angry. He couldn’t argue further, or else when Dad came back, he’d end up getting scolded himself.

He sighed and walked over: "Mom, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Luo Qiao, still annoyed, said: "Why did you admit your mistake so quickly?"

Just then, one side, Xiao Yu spoke up again: "Because Dad is coming back soon, and he’s afraid of getting scolded."

Xiao Ye suddenly charged at him, and they wrestled from indoors to outdoors, and then from the front yard to the backyard, before returning inside.

Lu Yichen entered the house and saw the two wrestling, inseparable. Seeing Luo Qiao standing at the living room entrance, he asked, "Honey, what’s going on with them?"

Luo Qiao glanced at Lu Yichen: "They’re just sparring, seeing what they’re lacking. Maybe you can offer some pointers later; I’ll go help Rong Daniang with cooking."

Saying that, she slipped away.

In the kitchen, Luo Qiao brought up the topic of hiring another helper with Rong Daniang, but Rong Daniang was adamant in her refusal.

Luo Qiao suggested, "Now that you’re getting older, what if you over-exert yourself? You can just instruct the helper on what to do."

"Oh no, the Woo family hired one earlier, and it was more trouble than worth, the house was constantly in chaos. I can still manage, you don’t have to worry about my health. If I had nothing to do, I’d probably feel out of place.

Besides, in a day, I really don’t have much to do. The front and back yards, the kids tidy up when they’re back. I only do some cooking, which isn’t tiring. I understand your concern, but this is my little joy now, please don’t take it away from me."

Luo Qiao could only give up, thinking to herself to come back sooner to help more often in the future.

With dinner prepared, Yanyan and Yueyue came back one after another.

However, Yanyan was brought home by someone, which gave Luo Qiao quite a scare: "What’s going on here?"

Yanyan quickly asked Luo Chen to put her down: "Mom, it’s nothing, I just twisted my ankle. Luo Chen was just concerned, so he brought me back."

Only then did Luo Qiao understand: "How did you two run into each other?"

Luo Chen laughed: "Auntie, I went over to see Professor Feng for some materials, and happened to bump into Yanyan who had twisted her ankle. I took her to see a doctor, and they said rest for a few days and it would be fine. But her foot is swollen, so it’s best not to put weight on it, that’s why I brought her back."
